From the files of "Films That I Pray Die in Development," comes Dragons of Autumn Twilight. I cannot believe that after twenty years someone is actually producing a film based on that POS book by Tracy Hickman and Margret Weis. Here is the link for Somethingawful's review of the book
- I remember when that book was prominently displayed in every bookstore in the America. Out of curiosity I bought a fifty cent copy from Paige Turner's used bookstore. They wouldn't buy it back from me. The book did however, revive for me a long lost love. I remember it well after having read page after page, where in our alleged hero Tanis faced the world with his customary fortitude. "Tears formed in Tanis' eyes … tears ran down Tanis' face … Tanis cried aloud … Tanis wept in misery … Tanis sobbed … Tanis blubbered … Tanis sniveled … Tanis bawled whilst pounding his little fists and wetting his breach clout." I dropped the book, my fingers trembling, my mind reflexively recoiling from the very concept, that one of these authors was indeed in possession of a penis. I staggered to my book case and searched desperately through it. Christ where is it? I need it. There in the back, found it! I slumped to the floor and started reading. "Die with your axes red," roared Conan of Cimmeria. I sighed with relief. The works of Robert Howard were things of beauty and wonder to me again.
